                                             closely together so we can encourage our children
                                         to reach their full potential. We have 2 large outdoor
                                              areas and our very own wildlife garden where the
                                       children engage in lots of exciting stimulating activities.
                                            In 2017 our Ofsted findings were: “Children learn to
                                           be independent and are able to make decisions and
                                       choices” and “Parents are very appreciative of the warm
                                        and caring greetings these children receive every day.”
